Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 220 Investigation Begins, Helpless

"Yes!"

Liu Yueli nodded quickly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

She wanted to take the secret guards with her to investigate the whereabouts of those shadow guards.

As for Qin Ming, he recently wanted to eliminate the influence brought by Luo Jiao.

As night fell, Guan Yue brewed a bowl of ginseng tea and placed it in front of Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was wearing a robe and sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the autumn breeze.

"What should we do if the imperial court uses Luojiao as an excuse to lead troops into Lingnan?"

Guan Yue was very worried about the Wuwei Camp.

This was the most important group of troops left by her father.

Qin Ming said that he would revitalize it.

Now he has done it, but pressure from the court is also coming.

"These armies are not something the imperial court can interfere with. Let's wait and see what they do."

"Ah."

A few days later, the court's investigation team arrived in Lingnan.

The person who came this time was Fu Zhengxuan, the Left Inspector Censor of the Censorate.

His deputy was Li Renshou, the Minister of War.

There are also Lu Yannian from the Military Affairs Department, Ren Lingyun from the Ministry of Works and others.

On the official road outside Linjiang City, Qin Ming, Song Dingsheng and his party were waiting here to welcome the officials who came from the court.

"Everyone has come from afar, and I'm so grateful for your hard work. I've already prepared the wine and food. Please move the tables."

Qin Ming smiled and made a gesture of invitation to them.

Everyone exchanged glances and became extremely alert.

Now, anyone with a brain in the court can see that Qin Ming’s days are numbered.

If the imperial court takes the initiative, even if Qin Ming has three heads and six arms, the future situation will definitely not be stable.

So in their eyes, Qin Ming is basically no different from someone who has lost power.

Naturally, no one wanted to have too much contact with him.

Fu Zhengxuan, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Metropolitan Censorate, shook his head slowly and said:

"Your Highness, we are here to investigate the remnants of the Luo Cult, so we will not bother you any further."

Their investigation this time really had nothing to do with Qin Ming.

But as long as any trace of the Luo Sect is found, Qin Ming will not be able to escape.

Qin Ming was well aware of the interests involved, so he did not listen to them and asked them to leave directly.

He smiled and said to everyone:

"Your affairs are naturally my affairs as well. Lingnan is my fiefdom. If the court arranges for you to come here and I don't assist, I'm afraid my father will blame me."

"This is a court case. You'd better not interfere, otherwise it will make things difficult for me."

Seeing that Qin Ming was so difficult to deal with, Fu Zhengxuan snorted coldly.

He and Qin Ming didn't have much in common.

He was not the original Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

But after Qin Ming left, Concubine Xiao Shufei forced Fu Zhengxuan to this position.

The meaning is naturally self-evident.

Fu Zhengxuan came here this time with a fierce determination.

We must find evidence that Qin Ming is secretly communicating with the Luo Sect, or that the Luo Sect is reviving!

Regardless of whether the evidence is true or not, as long as it can be brought back to the court, the court's soldiers will surely come quickly.

"Everyone, you can't say that."

Fang Qingyuan took the initiative to step forward.

"Without Your Highness's assistance, how can we conduct this investigation when we are all unfamiliar with the area?"

"Master Fang, don't worry about that."

See Fang Qingyuan coming out.

Li Renshou next to him immediately stepped forward and looked at him with a sarcastic look on his face.

"I heard that Lord Fang has been settling accounts with His Highness recently. Everyone says you write well, but I didn't expect you're so good at math now. You're truly talented, hahahaha..."

As Li Renshou spoke, the officials around him all laughed.

They were all high-ranking officials in the court.

Originally Fang Qingyuan was one of them, but since he was demoted here, he no longer has the power he once had in a high position.

This naturally made his former colleagues look down on him a little.

Plus, they now have different positions.

Many people stood on Concubine Xiao Shufei's side and naturally would not give Qin Ming and Fang Qingyuan any chance.

As for Li Renshou, who was the Minister of War, the Ministry of War often asked the Ministry of Revenue for money and food.

But Fang Qingyuan is a man of principles.

Li Renshou's applications were often rejected, which made Li Renshou resentful of him.

Now that he saw that he had fallen on hard times, Li Renshou naturally had to come up and step on him a few more times.

Hearing the other party's bullying, Song Dingsheng and Liu Chuang, who were beside Qin Ming, were a little unhappy.

Fang Qingyuan was not a pushover either, so he said directly:

"Sir Li, if you don't understand the Ministry of War's accounts, you can take me as your teacher and I will teach you."

"You still want me to become your disciple?"

Li Renshou curled his lips in disdain and was about to curse.

Fu Zhengxuan on the side stopped him.

"Okay, the case is important."

The reason why they do not rely on Qin Ming at all is that they are not even worried that Qin Ming will affect their handling of the case.

This is because of the help of the shadow guards arranged by the court.

In the past few days, the shadow guards have begun to disperse and conduct investigations in Lingnan.

All the results of the investigation will be sent to Fu Zhengxuan, Li Renshou and others.

How could Qin Ming not know what they meant?

"Since you insist on investigating on your own, please do so. However, if you encounter any problems, you can always come to me."

Qin Ming smiled faintly, but did not continue to forcibly stop him at this moment.

"That's natural."

Fu Zhengxuan said goodbye to Qin Ming with a smile and turned around, but his face immediately turned gloomy.

Li Renshou followed him and whispered:

"The King of Qin will definitely not allow us to investigate like this. Should we send some shadow guards to investigate what he is trying to do?"

Fu Zhengxuan waved his hand slowly.

"This is someone else's territory. Don't do these little tricks. Let's just focus on investigating the case. If the King of Qin takes action, we will report everything to the court."

He is an extremely cautious person.

Originally, the imperial court had arranged for many officials to find Qin Ming.

No matter what the reason was, they never took advantage of Qin Ming.

Fu Zhengxuan understood it before he came.

If I challenge Qin Ming, I will definitely suffer the same loss as the original group of people.

He studied very smartly and had no contact with Qin Ming at all.

If Qin Ming dares to touch him, he will report it directly to the court!

Let’s see who has it easier!

Through this method, they can at least ensure that their investigation here will not be affected.

Unfortunately, his ideas were still a bit naive.

After finding a random inn to stay in, he waited for two days but still received no report from any shadow guard.

Fu Zhengxuan, full of surprise, found Li Renshou.

"What's going on? Have you received the information from the Shadow Guard?"

"No."

Li Renshou also shook his head with an extremely ugly expression.

A strange thought arose in his mind.

"Could it be that they were all killed by His Highness?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. In just a few days, could he kill all the shadow guards who have hidden in Lingnan?"

Fu Zhengxuan immediately shook his head and rejected the idea firmly.

But at the same time, he was also worried.

Qin Ming didn't react at all now.

There is a saying that goes well.

The most deterrent moment is when the enemy does not take action.
